Clever, funny, and thought-provoking – and finally available in paperback! Kim and Petrowna have been best friends since first grade. Petrowna always stands out, while Kim tends to hold back. But everything changes abruptly when their class goes to a reading. Almost no one is listening to the author, except for Kim – because the woman is reading her story! The names and a few details are different, but the rest is all there. And her story doesn't end well – at least not for Jasper, for whom a wasp sting proves fatal. To prevent this, Kim turns her life completely upside down.
